EGG-BEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,457, dated October20, 1885.

Application filed April 27, 1885. Serial No. 163,685. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I,WILLIAM O. BURRY, of Allegheny City, in the county ofAllegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Egg-Beating Machines; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains tomake and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, whichform part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in egg-beating machines, theobject being to provide an egg-beating machine of simple and durableconstruction and of small cost; and to that end my invention consists ina beater constructed substantially as hereinafter described, andspecifically pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of myimproved egg-beating machine constructed in accordance with myinvention, the pail being shown in section the better to illustrate thebeater. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an enlargedperspective view of the clamping-jaws on one end of the vibrating arm.

To put myinvention into practice I provide a frame, A, of suitable size,form, and construction, and capable of maintaining the moving partswithout vibration. At the top of this frame A, I place a largebelt-wheel, b, sustained on a shaft, c,with suitable bearings, d e. Toone end of the shaft c,I place a crank, f, for operating the machine.Directly under the large pulley b, I place one, y, of less diameter. Tothe right of this and on the same shaft g is a flywheel, h, to assistthe working of the machine. On the other end of the shaft is a crank, t,to which I attach the vibrating arm J, constructed in two sections, itZ, pivoted at m, near the end, which forms the jaws n 0, used to holdthe beater 0. Near the other end is a clamping-screw, 10, provided witha thumbpiece, g, which serves to hold the jaws n 0 together. Near themiddle of the lower section, Z, of the vibrating arm J, I'also pivot itto a horizontal piece, 1", resting on a stand, 8. Said piece 1' is alsoresting on pivots t, which allows it to be moved vertically. The beaterO I construct with a series of bent wires, a, pro vided with a handle,0, for fastening to the vibrating arm J. The pail or vessel to isprovided with an extension, as, at the top, bent inwardly, whichprevents the fluid when violently agitated from splashing out.

The operation is as follows: The vessel w, holding the eggs to bebeaten, is placed under the beater O, which is adjusted to the properangle, so as to come nearthe bottom of the vessel to. By turning thecrank f causes the pulley b to rotate. A belt, 2, transmits the power toa smaller pulley, g which revolves the crank z, carrying the vibratingarm J, giving the beater O a circular vibratory motion. The arm J isallowed to move in a circle in consequence of being pivoted horizontallyand vertically, thereby imparting to the beater O the peculiar motionused in beating eggs.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s

In an egg-beating machine, the vibrating arm J in two sections, is Z,provided at one end with clamping-jaws n 0 for holding the beater 0,said arm J pivoted horizontally and vertically to the cross-piece 1',supported by a stand, 8, and a crank, 13, for imparting motion to thesame, and suitable driving-wheels, b 3 for operating the crank t, as andfor the purpose herein specified.

WILLIAM C. BURRY.
